Nope. This kind of back and forth triviata only makes out-of-control, 3-year-old egos feel better (and we all have them, whether you realize it or not). Guess your "case" was never really closed, but I'm removing my ego from this nonsense. Enjoy the skaters you love.

Thanks, I will. I love Lipnitskaya's skating and hope she does well in the future and the judges seem to agree with me, so I have no complaints.

Julia's jumps are not small. You have simply picked that idea up from other posters.

Absolutely not true. I have seen her jumps with my own eyes. Feel free to see my comments about her tiny double axel on the Cup of China thread, posted several weeks ago. Tiny girls can have big jumps, by the way. See Midori Ito.

Julia's jumps are not small. You have simply picked that idea up from other posters. Her jumps may look small, but that is only because she herself is physically small. Relative and proportionate to her own height, her jumps are completely normal in height. As she grows, so therefore will the height of her jumps.

No, girl. Midori is 4'9 and she jumped like a throw.
Julia's jumps are tiny. Her 2A is very questionable.
As she grows, you are confident her jumps will stay with her? I doubt she can retain the loop in a year or two.

The other myth that is being put about is that she has a poor 2A. Nonsense. Again, it reminds me of Tara Lipinski's. Whilst it is not her best jump, as with Lipinski it is not going to cause her any problems as there will never be any need for her to upgrade it to a 3A

Such comments are very interesting: "she will lose all that flexibility and spins when she becomes a lady". WHAT? Whoever says that, have you never seen really flexible people in their twenties and thirties? Who says she will lose them? Jumps, yes, but flexibility no.
